Please contact your state Senators and representatives and the WI tavern league and point out that homebrewing has nothing to do with homemade bathtub gin and moonshine. The Tavern League just showed how dumb they really are. Remember this the next time you go to one of their constituent bars.

I suspect it is less a case of speaking to an issue they know nothing about then speaking falsley to an issue they hope the reader/legislator knows nothing about. They have already managed to accomplish what they wanted to with that article. It is now forever in the minds of a certain (hopefully) minority of people in power that homebrew = moonshine. Now it takes extra work from us to reverse that opinion. A much more difficult task.

I say call your favorite breweries that are members of this tavern league and tell them that you will no longer be buying their producte unless then either apply preasure to the trade group or leave it outright.
